What the school offers its staff
ABOUT KINGSMEADOW SCHOOL
‘Kingsmeadow is a Good school………. Teachers teach about the importance of respect, integrity, compassion, courage, pride and quality. They set a good example and pupils conduct themselves maturely.’
OFSTED Sept 2021
There is a proud sense of community in Dunston and the surrounding areas. As our community grows, thanks to the development of new housing and industry in Gateshead, we are equally proud to welcome new and existing families to our school. We understand and appreciate the importance of working in partnership with parents and carers so that Kingsmeadow Community School offers a safe, caring and inclusive environment centred on the pursuit of academic excellence for all. It is for this reason that we maintain the word ‘community’ in our school name, and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
At Kingsmeadow Community School, we take pride in offering a highly ambitious academic curriculum. All students enter the school expecting to follow the English Baccalaureate (EBacc), which the government describes as, “a set of subjects at GCSE that keeps young people’s options open for further study and future careers.” The opportunity for the study of a modern foreign language is afforded to every child as is the separate study of all three science disciplines, alongside a rich creative arts curriculum. Our students thrive on the high aspirations set for them by a team of committed and dedicated staff.
This high level of expectation continues into our sixth form, where we offer a wide range of level 3 qualifications for further study. We are delighted that the increasing numbers of pupils who choose Kingsmeadow Community School as their provider for key stage five education will soon have access to a brand new sixth form centre, which is scheduled for completion in the Autumn Term. In the classroom, students benefit from small group sizes which allow them to gain the qualifications and rounded education they need to take their next steps. All of our sixth form students have moved on to the university course or career of their choice when they leave us.
Our Character Curriculums is delivered through our daily Thrive sessions, which account for two hours of curriculum time per week. These sessions incorporate much of the PSHE, RSE, SMSC and British Values education, as well as our own Character Curriculum. This was all highly commended in our September 2021 Ofsted visit and has moved from strength to strength since then.
As a Google Reference school we use the Google suite across the school. Teachers and students are well versed in using Google Classroom for classwork and homework. Students have good access to technology, with over 400 Chromebooks plus desktops available in school.
I am excited to be leading Kingsmeadow School from September 2024. I will be building on the work that has already been done in improving the school. Moving forward, we have a number of areas for development which we will be addressing, including: working more closely with home and the community; tackling inherently low-levels of literacy; further building resilience through aspiration. I am looking to appoint the right person who can work with me and the senior leadership team in making the improvements that the students and community of Kingsmeadow Community School deserves.
